    Since I probably won't be able to attend any cons that she'll be a guest at the best I can do is buy an authentic autograph. Anyone have an idea of how much it is worth? I don't want to be getting ripped off.

    I like to say. It's value is what you are willing to pay for it.

    I paid $12 for mine at C2. I cannot complain.

    Honestly. $40 is what they seem to go for from reputable dealers.

    Careful of ebay.

    For the next con she attends I'm going to try and find someone that will be attending that can get me the autograph. I don't trust anyone on Ebay.

    About the only autographs I trust on eBay are the C2 autographs. These photos were not available ANYWHERE so if they are signed you can trust that they are the LEGIT signature. Autographilla (sp?) is a good website for autographs.

    I'm going to write to her and see if she'll send me one. I'm not holding my breath though.

    Be prepared to wait at least 6 months when writing and requesting one. This is normal and anything much quicker than 4-6 months is probably not going to be real.

    Just a bit of advice.

    She (or "they") were charging $55 for Carrie Fisher's autograph at the Grand Slam Convention in Pasadena, CA. That is a LOT for any autograph. I heard she got mad because the company who was putting on the event set the price for the autograph. I got her autograph for $20 at this thing called the Hollywood Collector's Show, where they gather a lot of celebs together and they just sign stuff.
    My advice to you, Leia_Fanatic, is to wait until you have an opportunity to get her autograph in person.. it'll mean a lot more to you that way, and you'll know it's authentic. I wouldn't waste an entire day at Celebration for it, but if you want it badly... Ms. Fisher seems to be into doing the autograph signing circuit (unlike Mark Hamill or Harrison Ford), so she may appear at a convention near you one day.

    I have seen her autograph sell between $50 to $100.

    What is the value of Carrie Fisher's autograph?


    it's worth whatever you think is reasonable to acquire it. that applies to the value of anything. a figure or autograph might be shown to be worth $100 in some price guide, but it's only worth whatever someone is willing to pay, though.

    personally? i wouldn't pay anything JUST to have an autograph. i've gotten some atheletes to sign balls before, but i wouldn't pay for a signature that someone else got. and i wouldn't really ask for a person's autograph unless they were specifically doing a signing. you don't want to go up to princess leia and have her become irritated at having been asked for an autograph while she's trying to enjoy her personal time. a lot of people are pretty nice and gracious about fans on the street(as i'm sure Ms. Fisher is), but i just wouldn't recommend going up out of the blue with a pen in your hand saying "SIGN THIS!!!! SIGN THIS!!!"

    Hey smanigal, I think the site you mean is www.autographabilia.com ? They have done a lot of signings with Carrie Fisher and most of the other SW celebrities. I buy from them a lot.

    I just got a 12" Princess Leia in Hoth gear signed by Carrie. Complete with a certificate of authenticity and a picture of her holding the figure.

    $25.00

    that sounds like a pretty good deal. that's about what i'd give for that Leia figure WITHOUT the autograph and pic.

    Yes, YodaShizzle, this was a whale of a deal. The reason I'm getting it for such a price is that I have connections at the local SW Memorabilia shop.
